Hey Bo Diddley
Wow
As they say in Sports:
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!
This flows more like a JGB show, definitely NOT in the mode of a typical Dead show for this or any other era.
I had the tune ARE YOU LONELY FOR ME as some filler on an old tape. I always called it "Last train to Jacksonville"-hot tune.

unusual night of jamming
Thanks for sharing this! Nice to have the entire show finally. What an unusual night. It sounds like the entire first set was made up on the spot. I wonder how it came about.

Thank you much
Thank you very very much, this is one of those shows I think many of us wished would could hear in this quality for years and years and now we have it courtesy of you. 100,000,000. Stars for this

they played two sets
The unique one-time-only covers of "How Sweet It Is" and Fredie King's "Are You Lonely For Me" are simply stunning. Great soulful singing and Donna's contributions really kick these versions over the top. Wow.
Then check out what follows: Next Time You See Me (another cover, this time fronted by Pig, and played uptempo), Brown Eyed Women (all-time Hunter-Garcia classic played with extra verve here), Smokestack Lightning (yet another cover, again fronted by Pig - 14 minutes of spit and grease right up there with the band's best versions from the previous decade; Truckin' riff gets floated around 10:20) and Beat It On Down the Line (still another cover and one of the fastest, hottest songs the band ever played). Whoohoo!
A couple more laid back originals follow, then back to the dancing numbers (Bertha, Mr. Charlie <--more Pig!) ... a face melting Playin' and a 22 minute Lovelight for the ages. The Lovelight is notable for the relative absence of Weir's vocals (he makes up for that with some very intensely played rhythm guitar ... and Pig, well, he sounds like his old self).
If only I'd been there. I'd be hustling out of the venue like a lightning bolt to get my European travel plans squared away (after the encore, of course).
